Hi Guys,

I know Swedish camouflage is quite sought after, and I know a few guys on this forum use it also... This post is especially relevant to those people who use M/90 camouflage and/or own a G&G GF85 Airsoft gun...

Since 2006, the Swedish Armed Forces have been issuing the Ak5C.

Here is a photo of the gun in question:

The Ak5C adds a number of improvements to the Ak5A rifle. Most notably being:

New handguard with RIS Rails for Grips, Flashlights and Laser systems
Collapsible and folding stock
Shorter barrel, designed for better handling in Urban combat and CQB
Upper receiver rail for the mounting of the issued Aimpoint CS Red dot optic
Integrated Flip Up Iron sights
A bolt catch
New STANAG compatible Waffle magazines made of clear Polymer
Barrel sling mount
G36K style flashhider
Right side safety selector

In 2010, the Airsoft Manufacturer G&G decided to release their GF85 Airsoft gun, which is supposed to replicate an Ak5 but misses out on several of the smaller features which makes the Ak5A differ from the original FNC.

Many Swedish airsoft players have been after the Ak5C and some have even taken to scratch building the parts needed.

I have since decided to start up a petition for G&G to produce the Ak5C, as either an out of the box, ready to fire airsoft gun, or as a conversion kit for their existing GF85 series rifles.

Here is the link to the petition: http://www.petitiononline.co.uk/peti...rsion-kit/3223

I am in contact with Daniel from Airsoft.nu, a Swedish Airsoft news and reviews website and they have featured the petition and myself in a news article, unfortunately it is only in Swedish but you could try Google Translate if you don't happen to know the language:

http://www.airsoft.nu/nyheter/2011/0...du-ha-en-ak5c/

Airsoft.nu is in contact with G&G asking about new product suggestions and they have requested the Ak5C a few times, but they haven't produced it. Hopefully with the petition attracting signatures from all over the globe, it may show G&G that producing the Ak5C will be worthwhile and we may get the gun which we are after.

I thank in advance, those people who sign the petition! It has only been running for 3 days and it already has 60 signatures, and I hope we will be able to reach the 1000 signature mark by the end of the year!

Again, thanks very much!
